The Jax State rivalry was before my time, but I think this is fantastic news. I want to see this as a yearly rivalry game - it is the most authentic one we could hope for. Real history and rancor - not something recently manufactured like MTSU or even South Alabama. It doesn’t matter one bit that they are in the FCS now, so was Coastal Carolina and App State until recently. They beat the Seminoles this year for crying out loud. I would think the eventual infusion of CUSA cash (isn’t it like $500k per year?) will go far for them.

We’re not going to play you because there’s nothing in it for us. If we lose? Looks bad. If we win? So what? We beat a startup SEC team? I don’t care what rivalries are manufactured or not, all I care about is a W under our belt, and right now we probably wouldn’t beat them with this coaching staff.

The only difference between Bama and AU is that they have no history playing us in football. We have a storied history with Jax State.

I can remember walking across the quad during whup jax state week with all the condom vendors with booths set up giving away rubbers. Also the chant at the game the cheerleaders led. "Beat those cocks". My how times have changed. The last few years we beat the mess out of them. Even before we moved to D1 we were way ahead of them.

I was a little kid and I asked my dad, "What does Truck Foy mean?" He said: "It is Latin for I have a little P****." I never realized how cool my old man was until he was gone.

No. Let them rot with MTSU and WKU. A game with JSU would be a distraction that’s doesn’t produce a conference Win. With a likely move to the SB West, USA and Southern Miss are much better rivals. #SuckForth

Actually South and USM to have two close rivals should make for good crowds and fun for yearsâ¦.if (The HC we don’t speak of) leavesâ¦.so after that.
